When Sakura first stepped into Konoha High School, she didn't expect to be the most popular girl in school. She also didn't expect to be a total outcast either.
As it stood, Sakura was one of the normal people, one of those girls you would just happen to pass by in the hallways. Maybe you might accidentally bump into her, but she was no one too special.
However, Sakura never counted on the fact that she would fall into a huge mess that involved secrets, decisions, and ramen. And it all started on a Friday morning at school.
OOOOOOO
Kurenai Yuhi sat at her desk, her eyes focused on the attendance sheet. Flipping long ebony hair over her shoulder, she read out the names.
"Shino Aburame?"
"..."
" Not here...Choji Akimichi?"
"*Crunch Crunch Munch*"
"Akasuna no Sasori."
"Present."
"Danna, no one says 'present' anymore yeah."
"Don't make me cut you, brat."
"Sakura Haruno?"
"Here!" The pinkette beamed happily at one of her favorite teachers. Deidara rolled his eyes. "Ahem teacher's pet ahem." He ahem loudly ahem coughed/jabbed at her.
"Ahem transsexual ahem." She snapped back, making half the class laugh.
"Quiet down class. Neji Hyuga?"
"I am present."
"Oi Neji. Why are you always so stiff."
".. Don't talk to me, Naruto."
"Hinata Hyuga?"
"H-H-Here..."
"Deidara Iwa?"
"Art is a bang...yeah."
"Tenten Mitashi?"
"I'm here!"
"Shikamaru Nara?"
"Shikamaru! Wake up you lazy ass- Don't you roll your eyes at me!"
"Hmph, Ino... troublesome blonde.."
"Excuse me?"
"Yumi Takara?"
"Here."
"Konan...last name smudged?"
"I am here."
"Sasuke Uchiha?"
"Hn."
"Naruto Uzumaki?"
"HEEEEERE Dattebayo!"
"Dobe, shut up."
"Teme-"
"Karin Uzumaki?"
"Hmph. Here."
"Ino Yamanaka?"
She giggled softly and flipped her long blonde hair over her shoulder, making half the boys in her class swoon. "Here!"
Kurenai nodded and stood up, only to sit atop her desk a bright smiling adorning her beautiful features. "As you all know, this is Family and Consumer Science class. However, the other teachers thought it would do us good to teach you all a little more about responsibility."
Kurenai pulled a piece of paper from her drawer, and sighed lightly. "Before I explain what the project will be, I will assign your partners."
"Can I work with Sakura?"
"No way, I want to work with Sakura!
"Whoever gets picked to be her partner is gonna be so lucky.. she can do all the work.."
Sakura frowned and fiddled with her pencil. Stupid classmates.
"Settle down." Kurenai rolled her chocolate brown eyes. "Here are your partners. TenTen and Naruto. Karin and Sasuke. Neji and Konan. Sakura and Deidara. Hinata and Shino. Shikamaru and Ino. Choji and Yumi. And Sasori, you are the odd one out.. I'll let you choose your group in a second."
Karin cheered loudly. "I get to be with Sasuke-Kun!" At this, both Ino and Sakura turned to glare at the red head. It was no secret that Sakura and Ino didn't get along with Karin, and the fact that she was partnered with Sakura's crush only made things worse.
"Why do I have to work with Naruto?" TenTen deadpanned. Of course she liked Naruto, but he wasn't exactly the smartest person in the world.
"Hey, at least you aren't working with a Teme!" Naruto pointed at Sasuke for emphasis, and the Uchiha narrowed his eyes at him.
Hinata gave Shino a shy smile. She enjoyed working with the quiet boy, but she wishes she and Naruto were partners instead.
Deidara yawned slightly. "Can I work with someone else, yeah?"
Sakura glared at him. "What's wrong with working with me?"
"You're a bitch..yeah.." He inwardly laughed as he saw her face turn red from anger.
Sasori rolled his hazel eyes. "I might as well join Sakura and Deidara's group. Just to ensure they don't kill each other."
Kurenai rubbed her forehead. If it wasn't for the fact that she had known some of the kids since they were 12, and if she didn't love them, she would have quit her job already. "Let me finish. You will each be assigned a baby- no, before you ask Naruto the baby is not real. You will have to take responsibility for the baby. You will name it, wash it, feed it, everything a real parent would do to their child. Now seeing as though we only have five minutes left, I will let you all talk over some things with your partner." With that, Kurenai sat in her chair and went back to typing whatever she was typing on her laptop.
"Sasuke-Kuuuun~" Karin breezed past Sakura and sat on Sasuke's desk, throwing a large smirk Sakura's direction. She flipped her long red hair over her shoulder, batting her eyelashes at the stoic Uchiha (who was currently smirking.)
Sakura let out a low growl, accidentally snapping her pencil in two. "Bitch.." She muttered to herself angrily.
Deidara tapped her shoulder. "Helloooo, yeah? I'm your partner. We need to discuss some things."
"Right." The pinkette sighed softly. "We should probably meet somewhere to discuss what we should name the baby and other things."
"I know just the place, yeah."
"A strip club?"
"I- N-No, yeah."
"Yes?"
"No, yeah."
"No?"
"Yes, yeah! Wait...what?"
Sakura giggled slightly, and Sasori facepalmed. "Dumbass."
"We can meet at this place my friend owns, yeah." He lowered his voice. "Its called The Akatsuki Bar. It's not open today, but it's quiet and you and you and I will be the only ones there."
"It sounds like you plan to kidnap me."
"Sakura, yeah... you're strange."
Sasori narrowed his eyes slightly. "Hm we could meet there... but why do you choose that place?"
"Because yeah."
It was then that the bell rang. As the high schoolers filed out of class, Kurenai handed each group a naked, plastic baby, telling them that it was due next Friday and needed to be in good shape for them to get an A.
As Sakura was walking down the hallway, Ino quickly went up to her and winked. "Ooh you lucky girl. You get to work with my step brother and that sexy redhead known as Sasori!"
Sakura rolled her emerald eyes. "Both of them are pains in the ass, Ino. I'm not sure if I'm all that lucky."
"Come on forehead, don't you see? Maybe this is fate! Kami decided that he was tired of you being single and so he presented you with this opportunity!"
As she placed the baby into her locker, Sakura grimaced. "As if I would EVER date Deidara Iwa or Akasuna no Sasori."
OOOOOOO
"MOOOM I'M HOOOME." Sakura calmly yelled as she slipped off her shoes and placed her jacket onto a hanger.
Her mother soon came out of the kitchen, some flour on her pale cheeks. Her long blonde hair was in a messy ponytail, and she had on a blue apron, a large spoon in her hand. Mebuki Haruno rolled her emerald green eyes at her daughter's dramatic entrance. "No need to be so loud, Sakura."
Sakura shrugged slightly. "What are you making?"
"I was making a cake for a friend of mine, Mikoto . She works at the office with me and her birthday is soon so I thought I would make her a cake."
Mebuki worked as an interior designer at Uchiha corporations. (Uchiha! That meant that her mother worked alongside Sasuke-Kun's mother!).She was famous for her designer eye- and it helped that the woman was beautiful too with her cream colored skin, long platinum blonde hair, and big emerald green eyes. An added bonus was that she didn't have (too) many grey hairs.
"What kind of cake is it?"
"Vanilla with chocolate icing and sprinkles. Sprinkles. Can you believe that? Mikoto loves sprinkles though." She rolled her eyes. "So any plans this weekend?"
"Cha. I have to go over a friend's house for a project we are doing." Sakura Sat at the table and sighed softly.
"That's nice..oh, I'll be gone for the weekend through to Thursday. I'm taking a quick trip up north because I have a client up there who's in need of my skills. Will you be okay?"
"Of course mom."
"Good.' She smiled. " Now go upstairs and do your homework."
As Sakura trudged up the steps, she sighed deep in thought. It was times like this when she missed having a father.
Kizashi Haruno was a great man, that much she knew. Apparently he was a famous doctor, known for discovering vaccines and cures to certain diseases.
She didn't remember him too well- he died when she was 8 years old. It was sad because she didn't even know how he died. Her mother refused to talk about it.
Sakura knew that she got her strange pink hair from her father(That's right bitches. Her hair is NATURAL.) She also got her passion for being a doctor from her father.
She possessed her mother's green eyes and short temper , Sakura was now 17 and had more important things to worry about.
"Oh Sakura, by the way.." Mebuki called up the steps. "Tsunade is coming by to visit on Monday."
Sakura felt herself giggle slightly. "And Shizune too?"
"Yup."
Sakura laughed. Tsunade and Shizune were two of her distant cousins. However, whenever the two women came over craziness ensued. Tsunade was a drunk and a gambler. She was known in the gambling world as the "Great Loser" seeing as though she rarely ever won any bets. She was also famous for her ahem very large chest. The woman was beautiful however, with a pale complexion, silky blonde hair, and hazel eyes. Would you believe that she was only 64 years old and didn't have a single wrinkle?
Shizune was a timid woman, with semi long, black hair, and large black eyes. She was fair skinned, and just loved to carry around a tiny piglet whose name was TonTon. Shizune and TonTon often accompanied Tsunade when she went off to gamble- She had to be the one to drag Tsunade home after she got too drunk to stand.
Sakura rolled her eyes slightly. Well this was going to be an interesting rest of the weekend. Today was Friday, she had the weekend to herself,
Tsunade and Shizune were coming on Monday, and she had a project due on Friday.
Prepare yourself Sakura.
OOOOOO
Deidara had given her some (crudely) drawn directions to the bar she was supposed to meet them in. Sakura deadpanned. Just why the hell did she agree to meet them in a bar?
Maybe it was the fact that Sasori was staring at her with those beautiful hazel eyes, beneath thick black lashes...stop it Sakura! Stop it!
The pinkette frowned in thought as she prepared herself for the long walk to the bar. She didn't know why but from the time she was 15 to now she just couldn't stop thinking about Sasori in certain ways.
She felt as though somehow, in a different dimension maybe, she did something to him. (And not in that perverse way that you are all thinking about.)
Still, she would never tell anyone this, but she even had a wet dream about him. A wet dream! About Akasuna no Sasori! Although the dream was VERY pleasing, Sakura was pretty sure that the redhead would never look at her the same way if she told him that she was constantly dreaming of him.
That sounds weird even to her.
As Sakura boarded a bus, her thoughts continued to drift. There was Deidara, Sasori's loud and annoying best friend. The blonde has been nothing but rude to her since the first day she stepped foot into Konoha High school.
He "accidentally" spilt paint all over her skirt in art class. He's always making a smart comment whenever she raises her hand to answer a question. (She can't help the fact that she's so smart!) He always loudly says something embarrassing about her. ("Sakura wants to suck Sasuke's dick!") And his smirks unnerved her, because she knew that he was up to no good if he was smirking.
He was also seemingly popular with the girls. She once saw him walk out of a classroom, a classroom that seemed empty, with his clothes messed up, lip stick over his face, and his long blonde hair sticking up slightly. Words could not express how disgusted Sakura was when she saw him like that.
Hopping off the bus, the pink haired beauty shook her head. Looking around, she spotted a building with a red cloud outlined in white on it. It read "The Akatsuki." So Sakura was pretty sure she was at the right place.
Tentatively, Sakura approached the doors. She was honestly about to turn around and walk home (because they were meeting at a BAR of all places!) when all of a sudden the doors flew open, one of them hitting Sakura square in the face.
"EEEK- ouch!" She fell back, both hands instinctively rubbing her ahem large ahem forehead. She felt the beginnings of a bruise form and whimpered slightly. That was SO unattractive, and it really did hurt a lot.
"Are you alright?" A smooth and silky voice drifted into her thoughts.
Sakura closed her eyes and sighed softly. Why her? Her eyes flew open as she felt a finger under her chin force her to look up into onyx colored eyes. Her draw would have dropped if it weren't for the fact that the man was basically holding the lower part of her face in place.
The man looked like a sex god. Long jet black hair was tied at the nape of his neck, two thick strands of hair framing either side of his pale face. His eyes, a dark dark color, were gazing into her own emerald eyes, his full lips set in a firm line. And he was touching. Her. Face. Squee.
"I-I-I'm fine!" Sakura stammered slightly, trying to smile but failing.
The man frowned and withdrew his finger from her chin and took her small hand in his large one. "Come, little one. I need to put something onto that forehead. That looks like the beginning of a nasty bruise." Without even waiting for a reply from her (not that she had one) the man led her inside of the bar.
It was large, with black painted walls and red clouds outlined in white. There were a few tables and chairs on the sides, but it was mostly just a big dance floor. Sakura noticed that the floor was a shiny wooden color. There was also a long table, with 9 stools in a row beside it. This place actually looked like it could be a fun place to have a party.
The man then did something she never expected him to do. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and lifted her up onto the long table. He then picked up a bottle of rubbing alcohol and some cotton balls, poured the alcohol onto the cotton balls, and dabbled her forehead with it. Needless to say, Sakura was positive that her face was red.
"There." The man gave her a gentle smirk before stepping back slightly. "I apologize for my rude behavior. I did not know that you were standing right there."
"Oh it's fine!" She waved her hand and smiled slightly. "Oh yeah, and my name is Sakura. What's yours?"
The man raised a delicate eyebrow. "Cherry blossom? I guess it fits you. My name is Itachi."
Itachi. That name sounded very familiar to the pinkette but she decided to shrugged the deja vu feeling off. "Weasel?" She giggled slightly as Itachi took on a sour expression.
"Hn."
"Sakura?" Both Sakura and Itachi turned at the sound of the voice, only to see a certain red and blonde haired duo walking towards them.
Deidara casually pushed Itachi out of the way, flipping his long blonde hair over his shoulder. "There you are..yeah. Danna and I were waiting for you outside."
Sasori narrowed his eyes (His beautiful hazel brown eyes..) at Itachi. "Why were you so close to Sakura?"
"He threw the doors to the bar open and hit me in the forehead with it." Sakura replied bluntly.
"That explains why you have such an ugly mark on your ugly forehead, yeah."
"Shut up you transsexual."
"Again with this, yeah?"
"I'll just take my leave." Itachi raised an eyebrow as he spoke, looking at both Deidara and Sasori before turning towards the pinkette. "It was nice to meet you, Sakura." He stated, running a hand through her long pink hair. He walked away without another thought. As soon as the doors closed, the grumbling and the questions began.
"Why did you let him touch your hair?"
"That stupid Uchiha, yeah, always taking advantage of innocent girls."
"Hypocrite."
"Danna, yeah!"
Sakura just sat in a daze throughout the whole thing before her emerald eyes widened in realization. That was Itachi Uchiha.. Sasuke's older brother! And he just ran his hand through her hair! Sakura blushed lightly, smiling to herself. She barely even registered whatever Sasori and Deidara were saying.
That was until Sasori suddenly appeared in front of her, both his hands place on either side of her as she sat on the long table. Emerald met hazel as the two locked eyes.
"Listen to me Sakura." Sasori began, and she noted that he didn't have the usual lazy posture to him that he usually had. He was tense. "Stay away from Itachi. You are innocent. He is not."
"Innocent?" Sakura glared up at the man. "How do you-"
"Sakura, yeah, he's uninnocent in more ways than way." Deidara sharply cut in.
"Uninnocent is not a word."
"Whatever, hmm!"
Sasori rolled his eyes, before he locked eyes with Sakura once more. "I'm serious. Stay away from him. Okay?"
Sakura just nodded slowly. The both of them were making a big deal out of nothing, but Sakura didn't mind having Sasori's full attention on her. She was sure that she must look like a pink haired tomato.
"Hm." Sasori took a step back, before crossing his arms. "We should probably get started on the assignment."
Sakura nodded, quickly pulling out a notepad and a pencil. "Okay what gender should it be?"
"Boy."
"Girl yeah."
Sakura beamed over at Deidara. "I think it should be a girl too."
"What if I want it to be a boy?"
"Two against one, Danna."
"Hm."
"Okay, what should her name be?"
"Deidara yeah!
"..."
Sasori swiftly smacked the loud blonde. "Brat. We are not naming the baby 'Deidara.'"
Sakura bit her lip slightly. "How about Sarada?" (A/N: DON'T KILL ME FOR THIS-)
"Sarada works. It's better than Deidara." Sasori calmly remarked as said blonde was sorely rubbing his head.
"Hmm.. last name..."
"Akasuna."
"Iwa!"
Sakura deadpanned. They were starting to seem a lot like Sasuke and Naruto, and she was itching to punch Deidara in his jaw.
"Guys, how about a made up last name? I don't think Akasuna or Iwa really suits her."
Deidara scoffed lightly. "So you want her last name to be Uchiha:"
"W-What?" As Sakura's face turned bright red, she mentally noted that she would need to make a list of ways to kill the blonde.
OOOOOOO
Okay I'll just end it right there. No this story isn't complete. Yes it will be multi chaptered. Yes it will probably turn out to either be DeiSaku or SasoSaku. For the people who are about to attack me for the Sarada part, I couldn't help myself. The name plays a large roll later on, you'll see.
